The following Terms and Conditions apply to the use of this Web site as well as all transactions conducted by Silver Companies.

Advertising Terms

1) Specifically "advertising" on this sign is not restricted to Celebrate Virginia's Central Park and Town Center businesses and has to be a registered business. A "Digital Personal Message" (DPM) is completely different and can be purchased by anyone of any age (see next item).

2) A "DPM" is limited to one screen which can be up to three lines but the more lines you place on a screen the smaller the message will be.  One line is the best way to get your message across. The following starter phrases are to be used:

  • "Congratulations..."
  • "Happy Birthday..."
  • "Happy Anniversary..."
  • "Thank You..."
  • "(Name), Will You Marry Me?"
  • "Happy Valentines Day..."
  • "Happy Mother's Day..."
  • "Happy Father's Day..."

3) Other requests may be offered and will be considered but all DPM's will be displayed at the sole discretion of the Silver Companies and/or its agents. The Silver Companies and/or its agents also reserves the right to edit DPM content for public display. Availability for all DPM's will be limited to a total of two (2) per day which includes weekend runs.  It's based on a first come first serve basis.

4) DPM display lengths will be 5 seconds at a time. All DPM's will be separated by other display elements such as time/date, actual ads, etc. Every effort will be taken to separate DPM's.

5) Availability for advertising is limited to approximately 20-40 advertisers per week. This is to ensure everyone's ad gets plenty of cycles per hour to be effective. The cycle order and number of ads will be determined solely by Silver Companies and/or its agents. Reasonable efforts will be made to keep clients' ads separated from similar competitors.

6) Ads range from 5 to 15 seconds. Depending on what everyone else chooses, your ad's/message's cycle will vary per hour. (ie: even with 40 advertisers all placing 15 second ads- yours would cycle approximately every 10 minutes, 24 hours per day. If 20 advertisers all placed 5 second ads, yours would cycle approximately every 1.6 minutes.)

7) Time and Temperature may be displayed about once per minute or two in between ads at random and can be even shorter in time than 60 seconds depending on the amount of DPM's and/or ads.

8) Digital advertisement/message order placement only occurs when your payment is received and your copy has been submitted via fax, mail or email.  Phone orders will not be accepted.

9) Non-profit/community-related/government agencies are eligible for reduced rate or possibly gratis advertising spots. Each request is handled on a case-by-case basis, and no assurances of acceptance are made or implied. Priority is given to those agencies handling a community crisis, such as hurricane relief needs or an emergency blood drive. These ads are very limited and will only be accepted as paid-openings allow. Silver Companies and/or its agents will have the final judgment of any non-Central Park advertising requests. Submit your Order Form and a letter of request attached with pertinent contact information for consideration.   A general guideline is that if your non-profit organization/event charges an admission or is selling something (like an auction or concert), you may be asked to pay for your ad.  If it is to promote awareness, all proceeds for a charity or is for public safety (AMBER Alert, storm warning, parade route), you may not have to pay anything.  

10) Any and all political reference messaging and/or advertisements will NOT be eligible for gratis (free) display(s) and will be accepted only under the authorization and discretion of the Silver Companies and/or its agents.

11) No refunds of any kind will be offered. A credit may be issued at the sole discretion of the Silver Companies and/or its agents (see sections 12, 13 & 14).

12) If a sign malfunction or power loss occurs for more than one hour, a pro-rated credit will be issued for future advertising upon the sign.

13) Regular and reasonable sign maintenance, cleaning, or other service-related down time is not subject to service credit as identified above, unless it goes beyond four hours, after which credit will be issued.

14) Report any errors on your ad immediately to Silver Companies at (540) 786-1405 so they can be corrected. If the error was caused by our unintentional error upon entry, credit will be issued for the time the ad ran with the wrong information. If the error was caused by you, the client, no credit will be issued but the correction will still be made as soon as possible.

15) Any disputes, whatsoever, arising from an ad placement or fiduciary contract for digital advertising upon the monument sign of Central Park will be resolved finally and forever at the sole discretion of Silver Companies and/or its agent. You waive you and your company's right to trial by judge, jury or mediator. Any claims made will not exceed the value of the payment made for advertising in any case.

16) For advertising, you are not required to offer discounts or free items/services.  However, we are advising you that you are more likely to receive a benefit from this type of incentive to respond to your ad.  Keep your sign copy as short and simple as possible for maximum results in any case.  We reserve the right to abbreviate or omit letters or words.  Every reasonable effort will be made to not substantially change your message. 

17) As always, the first line of your order will be the name of your business only to "grab" the attention of the viewers.  Subsequent lines will have the information you provided and only three (3) screens of info per advertiser is allowed.  For Public Service Announcements and/or reduced rates/gratis ads for non-profit/governmental agencies, up to all three screens may be used for any messaging.

18) You agree to the following statements when placing an ad/message (DPM) upon this digital monument sign:

I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL PAYMENTS DUE FOR ADVERTISING/MESSAGING ON THE CENTRAL PARK DIGITAL MONUMENT SIGN FOR THE BUSINESS I'M REPRESENTING OR THE PERSONAL MESSAGE I AM DISPLAYING, AND AM AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THIS BUSINESS AND ITS ADVERTISING ORDERS. I FURTHER AGREE TO HOLD THE OWNERS AND AGENTS OF THE DIGITAL SIGN, AND SILVER COMPANIES AND ITS OWNERS AND AGENTS, HARMLESS FOR ANY CLAIMS WHATSOEVER THAT MAY ARISE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM PLACING AN AD/DPM ON THIS SIGN. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM BOUND BY ALL LAWS GOVERNING ADVERTISING CLAIMS, AND THAT BY PLACING THIS AD/MESSAGE I AM ACTING IN GOOD FAITH TO ABIDE BY ALL APPLICABLE LAWS. I CONFIRM THAT I HAVE READ THE POLICIES REGARDING ADVERTISING UPON THE DIGITAL MESSAGE BOARD (THE SIGN) POSTED ON THE WEBSITE (BIGREDSIGN.COM), AND UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ALL OF THEM PRIOR TO PLACING AN AD/MESSAGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT BY REMITTING THE ORDER FORM, I AM IN FACT, PLACING AN ORDER FOR ADVERTISEMENT OR DPM UPON THE DIGITAL SIGN AT THE ROUTE 3 (PLANK ROAD) ENTRANCE OF CENTRAL PARK SHOPPING CENTER ONLY.   I HAVE WRITTEN OR TYPED MY AD/DPM CLEARLY AND PROOFREAD IT FOR ACCURACY. I UNDERSTAND THAT FULL PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE AD/DPM RUNNING. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY AD'S/DPM'S FREQUENCY WILL VARY BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER ADVERTISERS/DPM'S AND THEIR TIME LENGTH CHOICES, IN ADDITION TO THE ROTATION OF MY OWN. THE SILVER COMPANIES MARKETING DEPARTMENT AND THEIR AGENTS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY ADS/DMP'S THAT SEEM INAPPROPRIATE FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY WITHOUT EXPLANATION OF ANY KIND.
